My dumbass without DistroBox:
$ ar x package.deb
And again... Distrobox is your friend. Me, I like an immutable OS (kinoite) but I still want the AUR…
distrobox-create --name arch --image archlinux:latest
distrobox enter arch
install yay as normal
yay -S vscodium
distrobox-export --app vscodium
yay exa
distrobox-export --bin /usr/sbin/exa
exit [back to kinoite]
exa [works]
vscodium [works, has icon in application launcher]
Try it, you might like it !
Ah, a wild deb-file. Let's add it to my frankendebian.
Debtap to the rescue
As someone who’s never used Linux, TIL that software doesn’t work across all flavours of Linux.
